So many activities to discuss ITT!

Chiefs @ Texans (early Sat)
Steelers @ Bengals (late Sat)
Seahawks @ Vikings (early Sun)
Packers @ Skins (late Sun)

and if you want to talk about the Cardinals, Panthers, Patriots, or Broncos, you can also do that!

The Vikings have a rough schedule. Even with both games at home, I'm not sure if they can pull it off.

Just a reminder that chefs are -3.5

GB now -1 as well although I wouldn't touch that line either way. It's a tarp I'm pretty sure. SKINS trending the right way but NFL sucks and wouldn't be surprised to see the packers rip off a lol super bowl run

Only way GB wins is if Fat Mike somehow is incapacitated/dies between now and kickoff.

doesn't seem to be an offseason thread but I always enjoy a good lolions and there's Calvin Johnson retiring rumors out there. I'd ask lions fans on validity but they checked out three months ago.

Well, at least we know what would happen if Cleveland ever drafted anyone good.

For financial reasons, I really need a Seattle @ Arizona NFC Championship game. Well, anybody @ Arizona for that matter. Cards don't even have to win, just host it.

Agreed. I bought playoff tickets when they went on sale and already sold my NFC Championship game ones. Stand to make about $6400 if the game is here. Haven't sold the divisional round tickets yet. Kinda hoping we play Green Bay just to make sure I can get top dollar for them. I plan to go to the game, just not in those seats.

So obviously the Vikings should have tanked their week 17 game harder, right?

Meh. Pretty sure the feel good of winning the division/hosting a playoff game is more important to them than a few extra % of title equity.

The Broncos announced Peyton Manning will start at QB in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Seriously wtf. Brock isn't good but Peyton has been LOL bad all season. I guess coming back from injury he could be better but he was the worst QB in football earlier in the season before his injury. I don't like the Broncos but this seems like a really bad plan by his coach. Brock was in the 20/30 range of best QBs in the league this year. This reminds me of the Kings bringing back Cwebb after injury when he clearly wasn't ready and the Kings were crushing it all year with Peja as their best player.

Same reason Jeter stuck at shortstop his last few years and Kobe is still a starter in the NBA.

Kubiak probably got told about the stat showing they average 2-3 yards per rush more when Peyton hands it off compared to Brock.

I think it's the smart move by the Broncos b/c their SB equity with Brock is pretty low. at least with Peyton you can hope he can be vintage Peyton for a little while, enough that the Defense can do the rest. maybe he can pull the form he showed in the GB game this year? which is a level that Brock can't hope to reach.

IE Peyton is the high variance play but I think it brings them more SB equity
